Oo! You could chop most of those lips off and scavenge some from another kit to get a different offset, Orange Wheels sets were amazing for that option, like 3 offset options right on the sprue!

They remind of an old Simmons rim before the FR style. Only time you need a lathe now. Take the barrel right back to the rim and then use another barrel to make a 2 piece rim.

Did think of that, but I find it tricky to get clean cuts and hide the join. ohnoslowlylearning wrote: Oo! You could chop most of those lips off and scavenge some from another kit to get a different offset,
Yeah some what close to same design.sandboarder wrote: They remind of an old Simmons rim before the FR style. Only time you need a lathe now. Take the barrel right back to the rim and then use another barrel to make a 2 piece rim.
Lathe would make easy work of it yes! and then machine new sleeves.
One done, need a few touch ups and final clean up then three to go magnify around crazy

Enamel reverse wash again.

Re: Got something to share/show
Tried a new style of brush today. Used a little too more pressure and possibly not dry enough but great coverage!!!

I deliberately wanted the pattern on top

Primed Haro 1500 black and then the silver dry brush. I’ll will paint in more details later.

Re: Got something to share/show
The silver with the dark areas pop nicely under the clear body. I will do more highlights on this piece tho. Maybe use some white as it’ll really pop thru the green.
